Sikhs in Hockey in Zanzibar

Sikhs played hockey in Zanzibar during the time the country was ruled by the Sultan. Records show that there were Sikh pupils in the School teams in Zanzibar and during the first East African Hockey Championships held in Uganda in February 1959, the Zanzibar team had a Sikh player, Tarthal Singh Bhamra who played for Zanzibar in the match against Uganda.
